Konfidenz

“A novel that is nigh Dostoyevskian in intensity. With it, Dorfman steps confidently…into the arena of a world novelist of the first category.” —Washington Post

“[Dorfman’s] sophisticated and complex novels and plays are multilayered, but almost all deal with political issues on one level or another. Simmering just beneath the surface, altering and reshaping the identities, nationalities, and relationships of his characters, politics also becomes the focus of Konfidenz, which begins with the deceptively romantic device of a woman’s arrival in Paris to meet her lover.” —Los Angeles Times

“Exhilarating for its finely tuned unfolding but somber in its conclusions, Konfidenz demands a fundamental reexamination of the nature of trust.” —Publishers Weekly

“Konfidenz builds a harrowing, chilly erotic tension…the novel enacts the unreliability of the world without loyalty it depicts.” —San Franciso Examiner

“Tantalizing…a finely tuned investigation into obsession and trust during major worldwide political instability.” —Library Journal
